23:13 - 11.06.2026


June 11, Fineko/abc.az. Telegram has finalized a significant return to the watchOS wearable ecosystem, launching an entirely rebuilt, standalone application for the Apple Watch. The official rollout was confirmed via a statement by Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.

According to ABC.AZ, referencing global software engineering desks, Telegram historically phased out its legacy smartwatch extension back in 2022. The newly deployed iteration operates as a fully comprehensive native platform. Users can now comfortably access their customized chat directories, track subscription channels, compose texts, record voice memos, and stream incoming GIFs or video files directly on their wrists without relying on an iPhone.
